| Abstract: | This paper investigates household decisions about voluntary participation in green-electricity programs. The authors consider different participation mechanisms and show how they relate to existing theory on either pure or impure public goods. The models are used to examine the implications of participation mechanisms for the level of public-good provision. Second, this paper provides an empirical investigation of actual participation decisions in two green-electricity programs - one based on a pure public good and the other based on an impure public good. |
